By the "rule of three", I allowed "hermetically". If you are unfamiliar with this (milo taught it to me) when writing IP, if there are three unaccented syllables together the middle one gets the accent, so...

hur-met-ik-lee

Thus nothing to complain about, which is why I said nothing, notwithstanding that I liked the line. Hysterical

PS You must read more carefully. I did not say I had nothing, I said I had nothing no one would want to take. I have a car, but it is very old and looks like a piece of shit. I own a house which cosmetically looks like a mess (also helps to keep taxes down). There is nothing in my house one could take to the pawn shop and get more than thirty dollars for, if that. All my electronics are very old (I still use a flip phone). I buy used and update them myself until I can't then buy used... There are a few quality items in my house, but they would be of no value to a thief who would be looking for a quick turnaround.
  There is only money in them if the right buyer/collector is found. As E.A.P. once wrote the best place to hide something is right out in the open, or something to that effect. I follow that by leaving my most valuable things stuffed haphazardly here and there, next to things that would appear to have more value, although still not worth taking the time to do anything with. I am also nobody of import like Oliver North who had to invest tens of thousands according to the congressional hearings for home security due to his antagonistic relationship with some guy no one had heard of (at the time) by the name of Ben Laden. So it is fortunate I am not famous, I lack the wealth to provide the necessary security measures one needs, if one is. Besides I think so highly of myself, I don't need other people to think highly of me Hysterical
How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?

The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
